Chapter 605 - Magnetic Star Dragon

Outside the protective ring of Stellar Moon World, the stars that were easy to develop had already been fully developed by the Stellar Moon Republic. Only some extremely dangerous stars still hung in the star domain.

However, while these dangerous stars were exceptionally perilous for the Republic, they were at most just slightly more stimulating food for Sudden Death King.

Those with the Star attribute naturally fed on stars. For Sudden Death King, a stimulating star was just like a ghost pepper or stinky tofu, nothing more.

Lu Ran temporarily bid farewell to Godslayer, saying she would notice when he made his move. He then traveled through the void to beyond the stars, stealthily approaching the vicinity of Thunder Sound Star and Abyssal Thunder Star.

These two stars were quite strange. They were quite similar, yet their powers did not interfere with each other, jointly forming a land of lightning calamity.

Upon initial approach, Lu Ran felt a strong sense of threat from these two stars. Even though he was already a Mythical beastmaster, he still felt that if he got too close, his soul would be destroyed by the strange electromagnetic force.

No wonder the Republic couldn’t develop these two stars. Probably only soul power rivaling the Primary-Divine level could ignore the magnetic influence of these two stars.

Lu Ran gazed from a distance at the blue and purple magnetic stars and nudged Sudden Death King beneath him with his foot.

“Want to eat them?” Lu Ran asked.

The current Sudden Death King was about three to four meters long, just a speck of dust in the universe. Although it could return to its normal state, which exceeded ten thousand meters to become a relatively larger speck of dust, in order not to attract the attention of the several aliens also outside the stars too early, they were keeping a low profile.

They kept their power as restrained as possible and their aura as shielded as possible. Under the cover of the radiance from these two ferocious stars, they probably wouldn’t be noticed too soon, with the other party’s main target being Stellar Moon World.

After hearing Lu Ran’s words, Sudden Death King looked at the two stars in the distance, drooling.

“

Roar! Roar!

”

However, Sudden Death King also understood that trying to devour these two stars at its current strength would definitely mean instant death. It wriggled awkwardly, shaking its body, and glanced back with a silly smile, indicating it needed Captain Lu’s help.

Lu Ran smiled. “Of course. I will separate a dragonborn soul clone, then enhance it to the Superior-Legendary rank using the Stone of the Other Shore. Immediately after, through soul evolution, I will strengthen your soul power to near-Primary Divine level.

“At that point, even if you approach the two magnetic stars, you probably won’t die instantly. Plus, you have the Star attribute, with innate resistance to stellar power. And, you possess the Red Lightning trait, which allows you to temper your body with lightning power.

“Also, you have devoured the Legendary resource, Alien Star, so even from a distance, you can still absorb stellar power. The safety measures are absolutely maxed out. Coupled with the Bottomless Stomach trait, you can withstand even the most massive energy source. There’s no reason to fail, and no reason to die instantly.”

Sudden Death King’s eyes burned fervently as it nodded wildly. “

Roar!

”

Soon after, in the starry sky, a huge cosmic dragon devoured an extremely powerful soul, then underwent an astonishing transformation. Amidst the suppressed fluctuations of the soul evolution, a dragonborn figure flickered in and out of sight, then charged from the brilliance towards the center of the two magnetic stars.

This dragonborn’s body was big and powerful. Every inch of muscle seemed as if tempered thousands of times, full of strength and explosive power. Dark red scales covered its body, burning like lightning, and shimmering with dangerous and mysterious light. Its eyes were like a red sea of thunder. They were brutal and bright. This was Sudden Death King after undergoing soul evolution.

Like Captain Doofus and Dark Crow, after their soul evolution, their forms had shifted towards a humanoid shape due to Lu Ran’s soul clone. In this form, although Sudden Death King’s body was leaner, its strength, defense, and speed had all clearly undergone terrifying improvements. Concentration meant essence.

Sudden Death King had plunged headfirst into the most dangerous area, yet remained completely unharmed. Lu Ran knew everything was stable.

Several days later, with Lu Ran continuously sacrificing soul clones to assist Sudden Death King in devouring the magnetic stars, its level reached 100. And after all this time, Stellar Moon Republic had also roughly detected changes in the two magnetic stars.

It wasn’t just the Republic that noticed this. The three aliens, although their attention had been focused on Stellar Moon World, hadn’t completely ignored the surrounding stars either.

If these leftover stars hadn’t been extremely difficult to develop, they wouldn’t have been dead set on Stellar Moon World and would have long gone to develop the resources of nearby stars.

Although Lu Ran tried to conceal it, as Sudden Death King devoured the power of these two stars, the truth cannot be concealed forever.

Outside the Stellar Moon protective ring, the three extraterrestrial powerhouses who were resting and studying the ring suddenly turned their attention in a certain direction.

“What’s going on?”

“It’s the two stars split from the Magnetic Star, which had Divine potential! Their energy has suddenly decreased a lot!”

After discovering this, the three aliens were extremely surprised.

After arriving in this starry sky, they had conducted careful reconnaissance of the nearby environment. Naturally, they had also discovered the Thunder Sound Star and the Abyssal Thunder Star.

Unlike the Republic, which knew little about these two stars, the trio was very familiar with them. In the universe, stellar life was also a form of life. Among them, different stellar lifeforms were divided into different potentials.

Of course, it was extremely difficult for a star to give birth to consciousness, but once it truly did, the level it could reach was terrifying.

After a stellar species evolved into stellar lifeforms, they could rival the Primary-Divine level, making them extremely fearsome; hence, they were called the number one species in the starry sky.

And the Magnetic Star species’ potential was not inferior to a stellar species, only lacking in numbers. They were the most terrifying species in the universe, being able to control electromagnetic force.

Although the trio didn’t know why a Magnetic Star had split in this star domain, forever losing its chance to develop consciousness, even the two split stars were too dangerous for them to develop.

“It’s said that many years ago, an extremely powerful Magnetic Star lifeform was born in the Cosmic Sea. Its strength was not inferior to the Sun God General under the World King’s command, but it was destroyed by the World King for unknown reasons.”

“Strange. Why would such violent stars suddenly have their light extinguished?”

The red-skinned old man, the dragon-scale man, and the seven-eyed woman quickly rushed towards the direction of Thunder Sound Star and Abyssal Thunder Star, wanting to investigate the changes.

By the time they arrived, Sudden Death King had already begun fusing them with the Sun-Moon Fusion trait. It used the power of the trait to refuse the two powers, separately integrated into the Dragon and Star attributes, into one entity. It was beginning its third-stage evolution!

As Sudden Death King evolved, Lu Ran intercepted the three approaching aliens while smiling.

A crow on his shoulder spoke for Lu Ran. “Stop right there.”

At this moment, Lu Ran met the three extraterrestrial powerhouses for the first time. A heavy atmosphere was conveyed through the changes in everyone’s expressions.

Dark Crow’s words were not just words.

The three stopped, and the seven-eyed woman suddenly cried out in panic. “Captain, I, I can’t move!”

“Us too.”

The old man, referred to as the captain, trembled all over. With a low roar from him, white cracks appeared in the surrounding cosmic space.

By relying on terrifying strength, he broke free from Dark Crow’s Spiritual Speech. The dragon-scale man transformed into a blue dragon, also quickly breaking free from Dark Crow’s Spiritual Speech.

“Captain, over there is a dragon species similar to the huge cosmic dragon! It seems to have devoured the Magnetic Star’s power!” The blue dragon immediately said.

As the two communicated, they also helped the seven-eyed woman break free from Spiritual Speech. It seemed that although the woman’s abilities were bizarre according to intelligence, her power was inferior to the other two.

Lu Ran still maintained his smile. “Surrender, and you won’t die.”

The three’s expressions towards Lu Ran changed dramatically again. Although Lu Ran very much wanted to know the origins of the three, currently, they were necessary sacrifices for him to obtain Primary-Divine resources. Lu Ran decided to resolve this directly.

As for the source of intelligence, he could simply kill them, search their souls, and obtain information through their remnant souls.

Of course, although he had already decided to go for the kill, Lu Ran still left them a sliver of hope, hoping they would surrender voluntarily and provide Mystic Turtle with a wave of growth value first.

As for whether they would actually die or not, Lu Ran could only say they had already died at the hands of the Mechanical Leader, so it wasn’t up to him.

“Human beastmaster.”

Facing Lu Ran, the three extraterrestrial powerhouses just snorted coldly, assuming he was a human from Stellar Moon. However, soon, the three discovered that he was different from the Stellar Moon humans because the scale of his attack was even more outrageous than when the Stellar Moon Republic dispatched three hundred warships.

They saw that after seeing them, Lu Ran raised his hand and waved. At a position as if at the pinnacle of the cosmic starry sky, a giant summoning array appeared. After the summoning array disappeared, it was replaced by a mass of dazzling, multicolored clouds resembling a brilliant galaxy.

The energy level permeating from this cloud was terrifyingly high. The three didn’t dare be careless in the slightest. In the blink of an eye, the cloud began to rain elemental swords that numbered in the hundreds of millions..

The speed of condensation was so fast that it was almost instant.

Immediately, hundreds of millions of sword rain launched together. It was a magnificent spectacle.

If it were just this sword rain, the three could actually still block it. The old man threw a punch towards the sword rain, and the fluctuations of shattered space swept forth. The dragon swept a ray from its mouth, determined to clear the starry sky above its head.

The seven-eyed woman fixed her gaze on Lu Ran and released a strange light wave at him, aiming to capture the leader first. However, Lu Ran’s side didn’t just have Baby Cloud.

Dark Crow that had immobilized the enemies earlier spoke again. “Elemental sword rain, quality increase!”

Then, golden runes vanished into the void.

If one asked who the best support in Lu Ran’s team was, it was definitely Dark Crow. Its Spiritual Speech was omnipotent and applicable in every aspect. The fist wind and dragon breath that should have been enough to overturn and swallow the sword rain now only destroyed a portion of it before being penetrated by the endlessly falling sword rain.

“What kind of monster is that?”

However, this wasn’t the most terrifying part. The most terrifying thing was that, within the endless sword rain, there seemed to be another figure. It was a werewolf-shaped lifeform with its arms crossed over its chest, body covered in black and white fur. It possessed icy blue eyes and four Legendary swords that flew around its body.

It stood poised in the air amidst the sword rain. The sword rain falling around it was as if paying homage to the king of swords. And seemingly because of its presence, the power and quality of this sword rain increased again, whipping up a terrifying Star Splitting Sword Intent.

The sword rain was like divine wrath. In an instant, the trio was completely powerless to resist. Amidst a series of cosmic fireworks, they were swallowed by the endless sword rain.

“Strange skill.”

Meanwhile, around Lu Ran’s body, electricity sparked out of thin air. These currents seemed to form an electromagnetic halo outside the defensive halo, instantly annihilating the magical light wave released by the seven-eyed woman.

“

Yo ho,

you’re stronger now,

huh

?”

Dark Crow looked back towards the two magnetic stars.

Currently, a dragon tens of thousands of meters tall was spreading its wings and watching them. It had helped Lu Ran block the attack before Dark Crow even acted. A ten-thousand-meter beast with black scales, red skin, red pupils, and blue-purple lightning wings waving in the starry sky, stirred up a sky full of lightning.

“

Roar!

”

Sudden Death King waved its hand and took out a shield, casting a disdainful glance at Dark Crow.

[Species: Magnetic Star Dragon King]

[Attribute: Star Dragon (unified attribute formed by the combination of Star and Dragon attributes)]

[Species Rank: Superior Legendary]

[Level: 100]

[New Species Talent: Guardian Magnetic Field (Generates a rapidly rotating magnetic field around itself and a designated target that can cancel any attack, both offensive and defensive. While the magnetic field exists, it rapidly increases the physical and soul strength of lifeforms within it without side effects.)]

“With this commotion, I'm going to assume that Godslayer noticed.”

As Sudden Death King finished evolving, Lu Ran looked towards the Stellar Moon direction. Currently, a white-haired woman stood on a satellite, watching. Five against three, the extraterrestrial powerhouses stood no chance, but...

“It’s not over yet.”

Within the cosmic fireworks, they seemingly relied on their protective suits. The three alien powerhouses burst forth, breaking free from the sword rain. However, what awaited them next was a dragon’s meat sandwich.

Sudden Death King had descended at some point, holding a shield in each hand. It was unclear which was real and which was fake, but both were its weapons now. The shields were swirling with the Guardian Magnetic Field. Under Sudden Death King’s great strength, they slammed together from both sides towards the three extraterrestrial powerhouses in the center.

“Just who are you? If you dare to make an enemy of our Cosmic Overlord Legion, you’re finished.” The three’s faces were twisted.

Their style changed a lot. After sensing the terrifying electromagnetic fluctuations assaulting them from all sides, they felt fear in their hearts and felt threatened.

“What bullshit Cosmic Overlord Legion? Never heard of it. Is it more powerful than my legion?” Sudden Death King continued its attack while Lu Ran picked his ear.

No wonder he hadn’t heard of these guys. They really weren’t strong. These three must have been completely wiped out by the Mechanical Leader in the original timeline.

Soon after, under the violent group attack of Lu Ran and the others, the three died resisting. They never surrendered before death, however, which actually made Lu Ran pause.

Unexpectedly, they were quite brave. Could they really be a part of some kind of regular army? What the hell, how do three noobs get the protagonist treatment?

He took out the soul-restraining bottle, intending to search their remnant souls. However, when Lu Ran used necromancy to investigate their memories, he was stunned. It was because their soul memories were a complete blur, as if they didn’t belong to this spacetime. They were impossible to observe and peek into. It was incredibly mysterious.
